Through education, research and service activities, the Division seeks to advance the development and use of information technology for decision-making, research, health care delivery and individual academic growth, and to increase the awareness of these resources among the Johns Hopkins health sciences community. Current research areas in the Division include medical informatics, genome informatics, information management, consumer health informatics, computer-based documentation systems for point- of-care, informatics and evidence-based medicine, biomedical editing and communication, and electronic publishing. The Division is home to four academic programs The PhD in Health Sciences Informatics The Master of Science in Health Sciences Informatics Research (a 24 month program) The Master of Science in Applied Health Sciences Informatics (a 12 month program) The Post Baccalaureate Certificate in Clinical Informatics (this program is fully online) Though all of these programs have
